The Cheshire Group of the Cottage Garden Society
This local group was formed in 1998 and has over 60 members scattered throughout Cheshire and neighbouring counties. We organise a programme of talks during the autumn and winter months and garden visits during the spring and summer months. The Group holds a plant sale in late spring and packs the seed that is distributed by the National Society.
To join the Cheshire Group of the Cottage Garden Society come along to one of our events and sign up, or contact the Chairman or Secretary for information and to register your interest. Membership entitles you to attend regular local meetings at the Methodist Church Hall, Sandbach, to participate in the annual Plant Fair, and the annual Christmas Dinner. Subsidised transport is also provided for several garden visits each year. You can attend our events as a visitor and pay for attending single events.
The annual membership fee for the Cheshire Group is £5. It is necessary for members of a local group to become members of the national society.
Meetings are held the Methodist Church Hall, Wesley Avenue, Sandbach on the fourth Thursday of every month from September to April (except December) starting at 7.30 pm. Parking is available in the surrounding area. Non-members are welcome, £1.50.
